Perspectives</H1>

<P CLASS="Intro">
A perspective defines the initial set and layout of views in the workbench
window. One or more perspectives can exist in a single workbench window.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<p CLASS="Para" Label=Type>Perspectives can be opened in one of three ways:</p>
<ul>
  <li>
    <p CLASS="Para" Label=Type>in the same (existing) workbench window, hiding
    the current perspective</li>
  <li>
    <p CLASS="Para" Label=Type>in a new workbench window</li>
  <li>
    <p CLASS="Para" Label=Type>in the same window, replacing the current
    perspective</li>
</ul>
<p CLASS="Para" Label=Type>Perspectives define visible action sets, which you
can change to customize a perspective.&nbsp; You can save a perspective that you
build in this manner, making your own custom perspective that you can open again
later.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<P CLASS="Para">
The workbench defines three perspectives by default: the <i>Resource</i>, <i>Help</i>
and <i>Team</i> perspectives.</P>
